Save the Date for the 2019 ACL Summer Institute!

After weighing the decision carefully, the ACL board has decided to move the Institute to an "every other year" offering and we are postponing the 2018 session to June 23-26, 2019. We apologize to those of you who have already registered and we will reach out individually.

Allow us to explain: ACL has offered the summer institute each year since 2010. In that time, 121 fellows from over 40 consortia and academic collaborations have gone through the program. Because ACL has a membership of approximately 50 consortia, and because most of those consortia are 1 or 2 person operations - we have effectively trained the majority of senior staff and are now working with a much smaller population of potential fellows. While interest remains strong, we feel the need for a class of at least 12 to provide the most effective learning environment for the fellows. Registration for the 2018 fell short of that goal. We have determined that we need to move to an every-other-year format to ensure the optimum class size.

We apologize to those who were counting on a 2018 class - and we hope they will sign up for the 2019 Institute, which will be held June 23-26!
